Thanks for checking, Michael.

In my setup I use the regular Ant copy task to copy the JRE into my bundle.

As it turns out, in .../Content/Home/jre/lib is a file called "jspawnhelper" and it has to be executable for Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) to work.
In my case it wasn't, because Ant unfortunately swallows permissions :-(
